I'm almost back

I'm midway through hell, but i'm here to fight. I'm shaking and on the verge of seizures, but this is gonna have to end me before i go back again. I'm relying on God and his mercy. minute by minute...inch by inch.....don't pray for me, i don't want any sympathy. just be here when i feel like giving up. I hate myself so much right now. I'm on my way back to the living, but it's gonna take a couple of weeks. bare with me.

Don't hesitate to get medical help, if needed

Sending you love and hugs

I agree J - get some help. This is not the fight to be all Rambo about. This battle is best won as a team

Sympathy has nothing to do with why I would pray or not for someone. I understand how you feel. I wish you weren't going through it. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep going!

We are with you BullDog. Please be careful as you detox & protect your precious life. I'm so glad you've made the decision to get free.

You have nothing to prove by trying do this on your own.

I tried it my way and ended up on the floor of my apartment puking up blood. My family had to carry me to ER and I ended up a coma. If I had just subdued my pride and went to the hospital earlier, I could have avoided almost dying and putting my family through hell and back.

Please go to the ER. You say you are relying on God and his mercy. Well God has mercifully provided you with the option of getting medical attention. Don't toss back the life raft.

I don't want to scare you - does no good anyway, I know....but I used to say stuff like this.

I didn't make it without a stroke....I had a whole series of little ones. I'll never be the same again.

I'm lucky to be here.

See a Dr - things may not be as bad as you fear....if things are as bad, you're better off knowing now, sooner than later.

I know you have people who love and care for you.

Being scared to do the right thing is not really a good enough excuse....

I'm not a Dr BD. I have no idea what they may or may not prescribe.

My concern is not what they'll prescribe you - you can be honest about your history with them and they'll take that into account....

my concern is for your well being and safety.

Glad to hear you tapered a bit instead of just rolling the dice with withdrawal.
